Research Cooperations

DIW Berlin works with a series of predominantly external research directors, research professors, and research affiliates. They collaborate for a specified period of time, fulfill cross-section tasks, and give important research impulses.

Research Directors

Research directors engage in cross-sectional tasks such as the coordination of research and the production of publications. In order to develop approaches for empirically based economic and socio-political advice, they closely cooperate with one of the research departments. They also coordinate research work and develop new methodological themes which help place DIW in the public spotlight. Additional tasks of an research director are the training and supervision of economists.
